Customer Success Manager
- Full-time
Company Description
CrowdStreet is a software and services company that is disrupting the commercial real estate industry by enabling innovative real estate operators and developers to efficiently raise funds and manage investor relations online. Efficiencies achieved by using CrowdStreet solutions allow real estate developers and operators to post their offerings on the CrowdStreet Marketplace and gain instant access to a national audience of accredited investors. Enterprise-level sponsors use the same technology platform that powers the CrowdStreet Marketplace to present offerings to their own investors under their own brand by integrating CrowdStreet Sponsor Direct with their existing website. Both solutions democratize access to commercial real estate investment opportunities by connecting accredited investors, family offices and institutions directly with real estate sponsors for fee-free co-investing and a modern digital portfolio management experience.
